Protect your work with poison is the oldest trick in the book, especially by plants. Most of them have to be cooked, to be eaten and digested with benefit for us. Why not doing it with our work ?I am thinking about healthy amount of protecting our work. Does it mean anyone making a rembrandt style photo should pay the author of that style ? For 70 years ?
